DX-242 replaces Loctite 242

1. Product Description:

Composition Single component
Strength Medium intensity
Viscosity Medium viscosity, thixotropy
Curing mechanism Anaerobic
Application Thread locking

2. Typical use:

DX242 is designed for threaded fasteners that can be easily disassembled and sealed using standard hand tools. This product solidifies when isolated from air between two closely fitting metal surfaces and prevents loosening and leakage caused by impact and vibration. Suitable for applications on low surface energy substrates that require manual tool disassembly or repair, such as electroplated surfaces. The thixotropic properties of 242 reduce the flowability of liquid products before curing after being applied to the substrate.

3. State before solidification:

Chemical type Methacrylate ester
Color Blue
Specific gravity @ 25 ℃ 1.10
Viscosity@25℃,cp Brookfield-RVT
rotor 3@20rpm
rotor 3@2rpm

800-1600
﹥5000
flash point/℃ ﹥93

4. Typical curing characteristics and properties after curing:

Initial curing speed (with/without accelerator) 15 minutes/30 minutes
Complete curing speed 24 hours
Working temperature range/℃ -40~120

Physical performance:

Destructive torque ISO-10964(N·m) 7.5-17
Average disassembly torque ISO-10964(N·m) 2.5-7

5. Usage:

Assembly:

1、 For optimal results, thoroughly clean the inner and outer surfaces of the threads with DX755 cleaning agent and air dry.

2、 If the material is an inert metal, spray the accelerator DX7649 on the mating surface and let it dry.

3、 Shake well before use.

4、 To prevent glue from blocking the glue nozzle, avoid the nozzle from coming into contact with metal substances.

5、 Apply sufficient adhesive to the mating area of the threads, and do not apply it to the first section of the threads. The adhesive width should be 3-5 threads. For larger threads and clearances, the amount of glue applied can be adjusted and the product can also be applied to the internal threads.

6、 Tighten the threads using regular methods until they are in the correct position. Reached maximum intensity after 24 hours.

disassemble:

1、 Use standard disassembly tools to disassemble.

2、 In rare cases, due to the long fitting length, it is impossible to disassemble at room temperature. The bolts and nuts can be locally heated to 232 ℃ and disassembled while they are still hot.

clean:

For solidified glue, it can be soaked in gasket remover DX790 or mechanically polished with tools such as steel brushes.

6. Storage conditions:

1、 This product should be stored in a dry and cool place, with an ideal storage temperature of 18-26 ℃.

2、 To avoid contaminating unused adhesive, do not pour the poured adhesive back into the original packaging container.

3、 Keep away from children.
